Lee Classic Cast Press.
- Thread starter Buster95

The version without the Breach Lock feature uses a different system to collect spent primers and one I'd say is superior. Further this press will also except large series 1 1/4 dies witch the other will not. I suggest you get the standard press and add a Hornady LNL bushing kit, best of both worlds.

I have the Lee Breechlock Challenger press, and love the breechlock inserts. I have them on all my dies. Once you set up a die, there is no need to set it up again, just 1/6 turn to remove, and install.
You can also leave a breechlock insert in the press, and it is just like a normal press.
Primer disposal works just fine, too
What are 1 1/4 dies used for?

Locking die rings are cheaper then bushing locks, complete waste of time and money IMHO, so you can change a die in 2 seconds vs 7 seconds, who cares lol. You also add in another level of play between the die and ram with a bushing lock, really never made sense to me.
If you really need to change dies quick, just get the Classic Turret.
I got 1 because I set up the dies once and just swap out turret's to change calibers.
I then picked up an Orange Crusher press for the Large LEE dies for 577 and 577-450
